Would you like a hate button?

I'm reminded of a now defunct forum where they installed a user karma system, rather than a post like or hate system. Just for fun on one guy I did so very much negative karma for the guy that it actually broke the forum.

Good times.

Aaaaaaand, for anyone who thinks a hate button would be a good idea...

I was, and still am, against the like button, but at least it fulfills a mostly positive function of showing support.

Dislike-buttons are way worse, and really just a way to make sure people who don't share the generally accepted opinion, feel even less inclined to participate. Implementation of such a button might be the quickest way to take a discussion forum and turn it into an ideological echo chamber.

Sometimes I want to show approval but don't want to clutter up the forums with my useless post that probably says "I AGREE WITH THIS MORE OR LESS"

Dislikes, down votes or hate options would be terrible.

I wouldn't like to see a hate button. You guys would kill each other.

Now, put that kind of power in a button and we have something to consider.

There is that power in a button. There's one on Trump's, Putin's and Xi's desks.

I don’t like the “like” button because no one gives two craps about anything that I create or make :c.

A hate button is never a good idea.
